Blind Man Navigates Obstacle Maze Unaided

iammani writes "The NYTimes runs a story about a blind man (blind because of a damaged visual cortex) successfully navigating an obstacle maze, unaided. Scientists have shown for the first time that it is possible for people who are blinded because of damage to the visual (striate) cortex can navigate by 'blindsight,' through which they can detect things in their vicinity without being aware of seeing them."

    We assume that your blind nigger is well trained and very gentle. By gentle we mean that he won't bite, kick, or strike inappropriately.

    We are going to cover four reliable ways of bringing your blind nigger to orgasm:

    1) Masturbation. If he is fully withdrawn you may get him to drop his member by using one finger to lightly trace the opening cleft at the tip of his prepuce.
    2) Blowing Him up. While grasping the shaft with one hand use the free hand to cup and massage the base of his member in the area of the scrotum. As he becomes more excited the erectile tissue associated with the glans-penis will engorge.
    3) Intercourse - front to back. To do this safely requires the right nigger-to-person size relationship. If he is too long and your legs are too short you may be in trouble. I often have to stand on my toes while he goes at it to keep him from going too deep.
    4) Intercourse - face to face. It has never happened to me but there is a good chance of getting an ashy mitt to the face with this, so wear head gear at least until the two of you have some facility with this. Also you will need to wear steel-toed boots. And you will need a few watermelons wrapped in blankets, or something similar in size and shape to that. A raw cantaloupe just won't do - he wouldn't like it, trust me.

    All of this is generally difficult to do without watermelons unless your nigger has something to climb onto, and ideally this should be you. Lead your blind nigger to the place (cage, pen, stall, etc.) that you have selected to be your regular playspace. Remove his loin cloth and give him a couple of minutes to acclimate to the setting, piss, take a dump, whatever. He may or may not let down his member in either case.

    Not taking your sig very seriously, are we?

    Brain Plasticity - his subconscious is figuring out how to make use of some form of input, to give him a sense that something is there.

    Alright, then. How about you suggest an experiment that would isolate the correct variable.

    Stop coming up with excuses. If you can't suggest a better experiment, don't complain.
